Some more about the state of preparation progress

1st of all, wow, my athlete, Andi just broke again his 2K swim PB (3rd time, since december), with another 37 seconds, doing as we cut back his swimming to 3 sessions/ week now. Congrats

I am really amazed with the program i recieve from coach Woody, and with the results I experience. Of course I am having ups and downs, but it s okay. With all the problems still able to train permanently, no rest day, if there s a reason, just have an easy day or 2. But really just doing haard job since november, and extremely enjoy it.

In February, new toy, the Scott Plasma II arrived and brought a lot of joy. I spent the last few weeks (beside train my a.. off on the machine) to find my fit on the bike..you know few mm here, a few there. Right now I am quiet finished with it, only looking for a stem (adjsutable angle) and things are really done.
They say it s common , when you change for TT position, you burn your quads 1st for a while. MAn, it s in flame all the time. And it is a good news, bc I tend to have tiny quads. I ain't have muscles now, but steel-cables there, and they seem to be thicker and thicker. :) Also a good news, that i do not use any wattage-stuff, so work on my inner feeling scale, which I am considering is the best way fro me to do.
So, right now am pretty satisfied and having the feeling when you own a special power and no controll of it. Can't wait to throw the leash away.
Which goint to happen 1st on 5th of April on a 18 k TT road race. Which ll be my 1st TT race ever, but that doesnt mean a thing, ll have no mercy and ready to win it.

The run part is also awesome. Coach really found the key and am really looking forward how legs gonna shoot during the season. The real BIG "taste" will be 24th of May, austria 70.3 and that lovely 21K run. Right now all I need to do is to be careful with intensity and take good care of recovery. As my friend used to say: "Just do 1000 things right a day..." Vic Plata.

Hope all u triathletes doing good, see ya

Never seen such a thing ! ,)

Okay, the tracks name is basicly this: Triathlon, cool.



By the way, training is going real good, and we show some huge improvements. Feel already so much motivation to race, can't wait the season to kick off!

Have a self-confidence boosting "test" results, but those are just numbers, and we never know untill crossing the finishline. So wouldn't bore anyone with datas...

Ll be back, and enjoy the track.

My club in Austria in 2009

In 2009 I am going to race a lot in Austria and some in Germany. Main focus is on non-drafting races, very rarely will I do draft legal ones. As well, stepping up to longer distances.

Some main races from the 2009 calendar of mine:

- Ironman 70.3 Austria (St.Pölten)

- Ironman 70.3 Germany (still under construction :) )

- Hungarian half championships (Zanka)

- IM Austria Klagenfurt ( ll be a tricky one)

So it seemed a wise decision to sign for an austrian club. Since I am already worked for dertriatlon.com Fuerstenfeld , and knowing Andi from 2006, it was so obvious to race for them.

With their, Scott's and the S'Radl-Eck (Armin)'s help I am going to use a Scott Plasma 2 TT bike in 2009 (and I guess it will be sold after a year - if only I ll love this bike too much ! ). Which is going to be very exciting. Non-drafting races demands the use of TT bike, since aero dynamics plays a big role in this game. You can see "La Demon" above on the picture, such a solid machine ! :)

I am training full gas now, and am looking forward to race, and sometimes hang out with new team mates ,)

So hope to see you guys soon, and compete!
